    Sounds like something about Wheels and not about the Blazers.

    I heard that also but didn't hear what. I am wondering if his radio show is changing somehow? Was Wheels selected as the All-Star play by play guy? Maybe he has passed the 100lbs lost mark.

    Yeah, I tend to think it's got something to do with Brian Wheeler or the station and zero to do with the Blazers.

    I had to turn it off in the car because of their non-stop Kevin Durant butt-kissing.

    I'll assume it's a curveball and the Comcast/DirecTV deal will be finalized during one of their shows. :devilwink:

    I can't stand listening to Wheeler. He whines all game long if the team is playing poorly or God forbid, an opposing player scores more than his season average or a low percentage 3 pt. shooter hits one. There's a reason they hit those shots Brian...they are wide open!

    That said, I hope he's all right and not ailing.

    I would love this to be the big annoucment but I don't think it is from anything I have heard. I don't think there is anymore movement on the Comcast deal with Directv. I really hope I'm wrong on this though.

    They just teased it again. Maybe he is taking over for Canzano.

    I doubt it's Comcast. They wouldn't risk holding off on a story like that and have O-Live break it first. Maybe a programming change?

    has to be something positive for wheels, if he was leaving or the sort he'd just vanish, that's what happens in radio. and i seriously doubt they'd tease something big for the blazers all the way to monday, they would be reporting it now so as not to get scooped by the national guys.

    He's a really nice guy, but you're right. He just gets so depressed during games. If we're losing, I almost can't stand to listen to him.

    Yeah, he definitely channels his inner MIXUM a lot. I get the feeling a lot that we're down by 20, and he says the score and we're down 19-15 in the first quarter, and it's not all that bad.
    But Wheels has definitely had some memorable calls this season.

    Yeah, but that's the problem.... I'm already taking the loss hard and I don't need Wheelz negativity taking me into critical levels of frustration lol
